Abstract
This study investigated the viewpoints of the students in the teacher training course of Japanese language by mutual evaluation on their lesson plans. The details of the comments include: 1) impression if a plan is easy to understand on surface, 2) concrete suggestions that are related to the Japanese language pedagogical knowledge, predicting how a lesson could develop in a classroom, and 3) opinion that are based on their experiences of learning foreign languages. The results indicate that the students tend to assess a plan on semblance, not on the content. Therefore, the instructions on developing lesson plans need to encourage students to examine that the content is appropriate to a material.
